When I say, "I love you,"
I am saying that I am totally comfortable when I am with you.
Though problems may abound, you can lead me to rest.
Assurance, care & well being lay within your breast.

When I say, "I love you,"
I am stating that I love who I am as my thoughts reflect off of you.
I need not be sufficient, victorious, or strong,I need only be:
Wheither neutral, in the right, or stupidly wrong.

When I say, "I love you,"
I feel united to a fusion that holds a power stronger than I have.
And there's this change, slow but steadfast, holding me constrained
From all the beautiful "fish in the sea," as only one has your name.

So, when I say, "I love you,"
It's not a trance to keep you fixed ...
It's not a pill to cure your ache ...
Nor a time-bomb to release my power.
It's because you are you & I become euphoriaized
When I gaze upon your lips & sink deep within your eyes.
